I dunno what to think about all this.  Some of it seems like nonsense, some of it looks scummy, some of it feels misleading... all wrapped up in a delusional fever dream.

You want folks to come to your game? Maybe concentrate on making your site enticing - threats and guilt trips wont help.  Vague promises about "unlimited possibilities" dont cut it either.  What exactly are these benefits here? Promoting gambling as a money-making tool is a big red flag in my book.  Is this a pyramid scheme type deal?  Without the full story and proof, your words mean zilch.  That pledge to just hand out money is probably about as real as my chance to win the lottery.  Get it?

One of the main reasons Bitcoin even exists is because it was designed and built to be a digital alternative to physical cash. It would not make sense to regress and go back to create a clunky, dying physical version from a digital source.

The Feather wallet (open source) is also compatible with Trezor hardware wallets, so you can use that combination if you dont like the Trezor Suite app.

You got the first part right. Hype from influencers can make a memecoin blow up fast, for sure.  Never heard of this SLERF thing though, haha.  Guess some memecoins try to stick around longer by acting like real crypto with DeFi features and stuff.  But you cant just throw some DeFi on a memecoin and expect it to moon and  the real use cases and long-term plans matter more if its gonna last.

By the way, why did you post this in "Announcements"?

Young? More like naive. Spend enough time in this game, and you will see every scam under the sun recycled a thousand times. Sounds like the younger generations are too busy reinventing the wheel to learn from past mistakes.  Try to spend at least ten minutes searching this forum or other sources and learn more about "fake wallet.dat scams". Or dont. How you want to waste your time is your business.



Okay, sure. But now you know. Why keep going on?  Thats where a good old "c'mon, just stop it!" comes in handy. 

So what do I think about people investing in Bitcoin? Is that a trick question??  I mean, this is a Bitcointalk.org forum so most folks here are probably fans.  but sure, lets chat.

Bitcoin definitely has some issues that give people pause.  The price jumps all over the place.  There is some shady stuff happening on the dark web.  But Bitcoiners know what they signed up for.  Either they truly believe in the whole decentralized currency revolution thing.  Or they just wanna make a quick buck on the volatility.

My take? Hey, you do you.  If you wanna dive in go for it.  Just make sure you learn about it first, get the risks, and dont come crying if you lose that money.  Bitcoin has always been a gamble.

And yet, you started your post with exactly that - spread of misinformation and false leads. "I've been doing some digging and found a wallet.dat file" Yeah right!


Its a well-known type of scam. You are just a decade too late.  

The "List of all members" feature bit the dust ages ago. Dont know the exact date myself, but I believe I read somewhere it was causing server issues with the massive number of members here.

Anyway, you can still use the "Members" option to search for members the old-fashioned way. Just head over to the "search for members" tab.

Im a bit skeptical of this Bitcoin story.  The timing seems awfully convenient - supposedly buying at precisely $30K and selling at exactly $70K? That sounds too perfect to be true. 

While Bitcoin has certainly been life-changing for some folks, this particular tale smells kind of fishy to me.  It could just be an extremely lucky gamble that this person is trying to pass off as brilliant financial insight after the fact. 

I wouldnt take stories like this as gospel if you are new to Bitcoin investing.  Theres probably some truth being stretched here, if not outright fabrication and  take claims of easy, perfect market timing with a huge grain of salt.

Thats true,  - cashing out to fiat right away does reduce the risk of losing value if the stablecoin drops its peg.  For smaller sums, it may be the safer option.  However, peer-to-peer transactions have risks too, like the possibility of fraud by the other party.  Theres no perfectly safe option so its about weighing risks against benefits in your specific situation.  Perhaps use caution with large amounts, but accept some risk for convenience with smaller

What do you mean by "even after halving"?  You know that this is neither the first nor the last halving?


Wait, a minute ago you were cool with a value of a 15 million Bitcoins? Whats that based on? You literally just admitted it is hard to estimate this thing!

Most of the AI text generating tools I have tried can be "forced" (or rather persuaded) to use any expression style you want.  So, aiming for rudeness might not be the unique snowflake you think it is.  I think the content of your posts is much more important than the way you express it. Whether it is polite or rude makes no difference.

Trustpilot reviews offer some value, but should not be the sole factor when evaluating a website's legitimacy.  Counterfeit sites have become adept at manipulating reviews to appear authentic.  Just like fake products, there are also fake reviews.  Scammers can pay for positive reviews or write them themselves to make a website seem legit.

Nope! I wouldnt recommend basing investment choices on celebrities.  Just because someones famous doesnt automatically make them an expert on finances or Bitcoin and  celebrities often get paid to promote products or services, but that doesnt mean they actually use or even understand what they are endorsing. 

It is best to think critically and do your own thorough research before investing money into anything.  Dont just blindly follow a celebritys endorsement or advice without looking into the pros and cons yourself first.  They may have different incentives than looking out for your best financial interests.

That "expert" is a bit biased, dont you think?

Of course not. It would be foolish to think that way.


I see no reason why.


Thats kind of obvious.  If there is less of something, of course that means it is scarcer.


You mean in 100 or so years? Well, thats a long way off.  Human civilization itself might be a whole different story by then.  Predicting something so specific is impossible.

Haha, you are not wrong! Coyster's take on lost Bitcoin is a bit of a head-scratcher.   Signing a message from an address proves it is not lost, not the other way around. 

Just to clarify, have you tried to contact them in any other way than the live chat on the site? It might be helpful to actually email customer support.


No, you dont need to include your email address in the screenshots.  While you can delete your own post later, keep in mind that entire threads (including other people's posts) cannot be deleted. Also, your post may still be available on archived sites maintained by third parties.

Every past bull and bear market in Bitcoin and other markets has seen the same thing.  Whales and big players have a role for sure.  But we gotta be real, thinking its all a big conspiracy wont get you anywhere and  these markets pump hard and crash hard.  Thats how it goes.  The whales might push things one way or another now and then, but they aint the only drivers behind it all.

I used to obsessively watch the charts and make trades based on rumors I saw online.  Total recipe for getting rekt.  Id freak out whenever prices swung wildly.  Now I know volatility is just part of the game. 

Also, I almost fell victim to a phishing scam once. Some fake site almost got me to enter my private key and drain my wallet.  Those days of newbie mistakes were sweaty and stressful, but at least I learned a few good lessons about personal security.
